I can only imagine how uncomfortable an exam must be, so I would assume they would use lubrication to make it more bearable.

    It’s not gross, just inquisitive. Kinda nice to have people be curious about what things are like for others that are different from themselves.

    And to answer it: yes they use lube. It’s more cold and uncomfortable than painful.

      Thanks, it was really a curiosity about something I’ll never experience. I also thought I’d ask, because I think there is still too much taboo around female heath topics.

      I think its impossible to get away from the uncomfortability of it, but happy to hear from several people already that it is not painful.
